Kion paced in the den. "Will I turn into Scar? I cant! And I dont want to! But if we dont get to the Tree of Life in time it will happen. If I do turn evil, Mom and Dad will hate me. They wont love me, they'll never want to see me again." "Kion?" A voice said that pulled him out of his thoughts. Kion looked over, it was Nala. "Its nearly time for you and the Guard to leave, are you alright?" "Y-yeah. I-Im ok, Mom." "Kion, honey, I know you. I know somethings wrong." "I-Its nothing, Mom." Nala walked over and nuzzled him. "You know you can tell me." "Really Mom, Im ok." Kion said forcing a smile and trying to convince her. "Kion. You know I'll be here, no matter what. You can always talk to me." Kion gave a sigh. "Well, I, Im scared." "Honey-" "If I do turn evil, you and Dad will never want to see me again! You'll hate me!" Nala quickly put her chin on Kions head. "Kion. We will never hate you. No matter what you're our son. And we'll always love you." "You're just saying that." Kion said. Just then Simba walked into the den. "Kion, whats wrong?" He asked coming over. "He's scared. He thinks we'll hate him if he turns evil." Simba put his paw on Kions back. "Son. First off, you wont turn evil. You have too much of a good heart. Second, you know we will always love you." "If I start being like Scar you wont." Simba and Nala nuzzled him. Kion gladly nuzzled back. "We will always love you. No matter what happens" Nala said as she and Simba continued to nuzzle him. Kion smiled and hugged them hard. "Thanks, Mom and Dad." 'Of course!" Nala said. "Of course we'll miss you, but this is the best thing for you. Just know we're always with you. In here." Nala said putting her paw on his chest. Kion smiled and started to tear up, as did Nala and Simba.
A few minutes later it was time to go. "Safe travels, Lion Guard." "Thanks, Dad." "You know how to get there?" Nala asked. "Dont worry Your Majesties, Ive memorised the landmarks that point the way to the Tree of Life." "And I'll keep watch from the sky." Anga said. "But we should probably get going." Fuli said. "Like my Dad always says, the sooner you go, the sooner you get there." Beshte quoted. "Thats right. So lets go already!" Bunga said putting his arm around Kion. "Bring Kion home safe." Simba said to Fuli. "Of course..., Your Majesty." Fuli said then bowed. "Wait for me! An excited voice exclaimed. "Makini?" Kion asked. "I have agreed to let Makini go with you." Rafiki said. "Ive already been to the Tree of Life, remember? When I was little!" Poa, Im sure we could use the help. Right Ono?" "Uh I guess?" "And I can give you tuliza whenever you need it!" Makini said opening her gourd as she walked up to Kion." "Oh, that'd be great Makini!" Kion said. "Good luck, Kion." Kiara said to him. "Thanks, Kiara. Keep Tiifu and Zuri outta trouble while we're gone." Kiara looked back at them then said, "I will." "Hopefully you'll be back in time for Kiara's first hunt." "I hope so." "We'll miss you, son." Simba said as tears formed in his eyes and Nala's and Kiara's.
Tears formed in Kions eyes too. He ran to his family and hugged them. He first gave Nala a hug. "Thanks for while ago, Mom. I love you." Kion whispered nuzzling her. "I love you too, sweetie." She licked Kions cheek before letting him go. Tears started to stream down her cheeks. He then nuzzled Kiara. "Love you, Kiara." "Love you too, little bro." She said trying not to cry as it would set the 4 lions off. Lastly he went to Simba. Simba put his paw around Kion as he hugged him. "Dont ever forget, no matter what happens, we'll always love you. Tears made their way down Kions cheeks as he hugged Simba tightly. Tears ran down Simba's cheeks too. The Guard smiled at the 4 lions, trying not to leave tears fill their eyes too. "I love you, Dad." Kion whispered. "I love you, too." He licked Kions forhead as he took his paw off Kion. "It seems the Pride Landers' want to wish you luck as well!" Rafiki said. Kion took one last look at his family. Simba gave him a slight nod. "Lion Guard, lets go!" As the Guard walked off, Simba and Nala nuzzled each other. Now, it was time for the Guard to make their journey to the Tree of Life.Thank you soooooooooooooooooo much __Unk0wn__28 for this idea thank soooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!
